PHYLLOIDES TUMOR OF THE PROSTATE: A REVIEW OF LITERATURE AND A CASE REPORT

Abstract

Phyllodes tumor of the prostate is a rare neoplasm with poorly understood pathogenesis. Histologically, it resembles phyllodes tumor of the breast with hyperplastic epithelium lined cysts and channels embedded in a variably cellular stroma. A variety of terms have been used to describe these lesions, including phyllodes type of atypical hyperplasia, cystosarcoma phyllodes. The malignant potential of this tumor is unclear and has resulted in confusion in terms of prognosis and treatment.</p
